Update:
Thanks to everyone who answered. Very good suggestions. Moving out would be a last resort. We are all on one lease, it's not three seperate leases. I think that if I left them stranded and did not pay them money that's grounds for a lawsuit. If I move out and pay them the money for the rest of my lease (our lease ends in August), it would end up being almost $4000! It's that on top of paying a new rent. I'm very poor and I guarantee that my parents wouldn't help me out.
Our rules of house are exactly what Barbara said: you break, you pay for the replacement, etc. She's an excellent roommate when her boyfriend isn't here. She's clean and tidy, she's quiet, and she happens to be one of my really good friends. It's just that when her boyfriend visits she seems to forget all these things. My other roommate and I told her that we felt this way and she said, "You all act as if I don't do anything around here." She does do a lot. I admit that she is the ONLY one willing to take out the trash if it starts leaking or smelling really bad (me and my other roommate are kinda prissy). But, she doesn't seem to understand that she isn't a good roommate when the bf is here.
My best friend came into my room an hour ago in tears. The night before she brought her boyfriend over. The "jerk boyfriend" (his new name) starting making fun of my roommate about how she use to binge drink a lot and hook up with lots of guys....in front of her boyfriend!!! My best friend isn't confrontational so I don't even think she'll say anything to my roommate. Sigh.
